Has anyone seen it?

DH usually unpacks the dishwasher and is quite good at it normallygrin

But, he seems to have mislaid the gravy boat. I don't use it often but really need it today.

Try the salad drawer in the fridge. My friend found her engagement ring in her salad drawer, but her wedding ring has yet to materialise. grin

My engagement ring was in with the Christmas decorations. DH found it 11 months later 😀

Oh wow, I hope you hadn’t bought another one.

Glad you found it.

I just found my custard tart. I forgot I had put it on the arm of the sofa (wrapped in a napkin) while I went back to the kitchen to fetch the glasses I had forgotten to pick up. About 2 hours later I suddenly remembered it, but couldn't remember if I had eaten it. Blamed MrA for pinching it.

Pulled the cushion out from behind me a few minutes ago as I sat down and a slightly squashed custard tart rolled out, fortunately still wrapped in the napkin. Not sure how it got from the arm of the sofa to under the cushion on the sofa. Had to give it to MrA to make up for accusing him of pinching it 😁

No, he didn't but it was on the agenda

Am I alone in making a big meal then leaving something in the kitchen or oven - though switched off - and only discovering once the meal is over. Last year I left bread rolls that had warmed in the oven behind when serving xmas dinner, we didn't need them anyway, fact is we never really need them, but I have inherited my old mum's habit of always putting out bread and butter.

Arewethereyet please would you check your chair again. Your custard tart may have been having a chat with my butternut squash which went AWOl from my chopping board earlier today.

Sorry, can't find it.

But I think I might have noticed if there had been a butternut squash behind my cushion 😅😅

Not exactly the princess and the pea!

There was a older woman on the news who enlisted the help of the local rugby club to help her find her TV remote. It was stuck down the side of her chair.

You missed a trick there, kittylester, you could have enlisted the help of some muscled rugby players!

That reminded me - last December I found the missing (2nd) little remote for our radio/CD player, while wrapping 🎄presents, It was in the little bag with the collection of gift tags and ribbons etc. which had been up in the loft since the previous January.
I had thought it must have been gathered up among the newspapers/mags in the recycling bin and gone for ever.

Evidently gathered up with tags and ribbons instead.
